Patches felt immediately guilty after reading the diary entry left behind. Toy knew that it was an invasion of the privacy of its owner, Augustus. The contents of the entry were rather sad, and given context clues, Patches feared that whomever wrote this had some terrible power. How did pup even end up reading this? He closed the book and wondered if he should find Augustus and confess that he'd read his depressing diary entry.

Dear Diary,
Today at the academy there was a big school dance. My moms took me out a weekend ago to pick out something to wear, and I found a really nice dress. I haven't really gone to a dance like that before, but now that I have friends, I felt confident enough to go.
While I was there I saw this boy staring at me. He's a dragon, like me, but I didn't really recognize him. I guess he's in a different class. I was afraid he was going to be mean about me wearing a dress, so I tried my best to read his emotions with my loveforce. I might be wrong, but I think he LIKED me. Like-liked me. But I don't want to jump to conclusions...
I talked to Juice about it over text, and he said I should talk to him. Um, what?? All alone? What if I messed up and he actually thinks I'm weird or ugly or something? What if he doesn't even know how to read sign? I know basically everyone does but you never know.
I never ended up talking to him. But I learned from Kandi that his name is Interrobang and he uses he/him pronouns, because Kandi knows everyone.
I still had a nice night.
